New Sang Chong Market

Fresher Asian market than Ranch 99 and they have many more fruits and vegetables than most smaller markets. Even bought Frozen dinuguan which I love. Lots of Filipino foods but has everything Asian.

I was surprised how there food at the deli tasted so good! Im addicted now with there stuffed eggplant & korean bbq pork chops you guys need to try it!

One star only because there’s not a choice for half or even 0 star. The staff is rude… especially the guy at the back of the store who yelled at my mom to bring what she needed to him. The floors are littered with garbage.

New Sang Chong market does not worth any stars!!! worst experience ever in my life! I have been going to this place once a week for a couple of years now, and this place has grown from a hole in the wall to a much more crowded whole in the wall. The only cashier, Mandy, is friendly lady who always try to smile and say thank you to you at the register, but others can be just rude. Unfortunately, yesterday I encountered a very rude cashier who went to the extent of not looking at you at all, sliding and tossing your groceries roughly to the end of the aisle without any consideration of whether it’s a bag of dried goods, fruit, or a glass bottle, and not saying anything except for «NO plastic bag». She looked like she felt that you are some kind of unpleasant burden who is making her live worse. Normally I always carry FIVE recycle bags to shop at this place. But FIVE recycle bags were still not enough for over $ 200 grocery this time. When I asked for a plastic bag to take care of last few items, she just said «No plastic bag» and turned her face around. Seriously? No plastic bags? What a joke. It’s part of running a business, especially a supermarket. Furthermore, I met the owner’s wife, daughter, and daughter in law outside the store and complained about this issue to them. The owner’s wife and daughter just ignored me and walked away without saying a word. Not only did I not get an apology, the owner’s daughter in law just blamed on Alameda county.
Since they don’t value a loyal customer, like me, I would not give this place a penny even if it was the last grocery on earth. The rudest and least helpful employees I have ever encountered. If you care about the customer service, don’t shop here, since you’re unwelcome and won’t be helped.

Wide variety of world foods. Has a fairly large produce section that contains fruits & veggies from around the world. A fairly large fish & seafood section with several large tank of swimming fish. Staff can be helpful except on weekends when most busy if not Asuan you don’t exist. So be warned!

Not bad. Basically a smaller version of Ranch 99 with comparable prices, and quieter (at least on the Sunday afternoon we went there).

I only go here because it’s close to where I live. The prices are not the cheapest and the selection isn’t horrible but not great either. Their fruits and vegetables aren’t always the freshest either.
I’m only giving it 3 stars because the staff is actually friendly for an asian supermarket (even though I don’t really care much about customer service in general) and they are the most convenient to me. I prefer Foodnet as their prices are better and their fruits and vegetables are pretty fresh usually.

My sorority sisters and I headed to New Sang Chong Market to buy ingredients for hot pot! Not from the area, I’m not sure if my comparison to the Chinese-​filled Fremont grocery stores is fair… but I can say that we had a great hot pot experience, so this is a decent Asian market?
This is a typical Chinese market with a cooked food area and bakery. The meat/​fish area does smell very fishy. They have turtles here (!!!) as well as other foods you can’t find at other markets. I think overall, this market doesn’t have as much selection as Ranch 99 or Lion’s, but it’s good enough! We will be back if we do hot pot in San Leandro ago! :)

Overall their produce, meat and seafood are very fresh. They will have some exotic fruits (i.e., Jackfruit) and their price are pretty reasonable considering the closest competition is Foodnet.
Their cooked food and bakery didn’t look very appetizing (but then again I haven’t found any steam table place that did). The bakery section, their bread and pastry looked stale.
One problem I had is that their lanes are very narrow so expect to play bumper cars with others.

New Sang Chong Market is the same market that’s down in Oakland Chinatown, or maybe used to be, since I don’t go down to Oakland Chinatown much anymore just due to the hassles of parking. Build a free big parking lot and I’ll go. But anyhow, this location there’s no prob parking. It’s sort of like a little 99Ranch, but more Asian focused, so like no Mexican foods or supplies here, at least I didn’t see any. But all the usual Asian market stuff is here, live seafood, dead seafood, all kinds of Asian snacks. They have a big Chinese deli with ready to eat foods and some din sum items… like I said… a smaller version of a 99 Ranch. Produce looked OK, but I didn’t get any. I’m here for the ready to eat foods and the roast duck! The prices here seem about the same as 99Ranch, so you won’t save a ton or anything, but if this location is better for you, sure beats fighting the crowds at El Cerritto 99 Ranch and the screwed up parking lot. This place is easy in and easy out. The have pork rinds here!

I’m so glad I live close to this market! This market carries almost anything Asian that you need. Shelves of Chinese to Thai to Filipino to Vietnamese ingredients that you need. Meat and live seafood is pretty fresh. Prices are decent for most items. Place also accepts credit cards with purchases of $ 5 or more. Store is well maintained, area is safe and most importantly, there is a parking lot.

I love this place– fresh fish and veggies, decent hot bar, and all the Asian food you could want. Give it a try! Don’t forget the Durian Buns in the Bakery section. :/

I love coming here. The produce is so completely inexpensive I can hardly stand it. $ 5 for a bag of avocados? Are you kidding me? I love it. Ok. Lately they’ve been a little small but I’ll blame it on the drought.
I also love their meat market… Or do we call that a butcher? Anyway, great prices on lots of fresh meats. (Quick tip– the kids love when I mix the ground pork with the ground beef and make burgers AND the pork is half the price and its So good)
I also buy special sauces and ingredients for great prices. Oh. And rolls to make our own vietnamese sandwiched.
Bomb– A, as my kids would say as I don’t usually speak like that.

Hot bar is B+ not made same day but still doable. Great customer service and friendly staff. Try the Kung Pao chicken and fried rice for a quick meal!

I actually love this place. especially coming during none rush hours. they have everything I need for asian foods and don’t need to go to crowed chinatown, the have fresh seafood, chinese bbq stuffs. and many other can goods. I go there once or twice a week with my wife and it has become my asian foods shopping spot in the east bay.

Need Asian food? Well new sang chong has you covered! Since there are no 99 ranches in the area, I go here for all my asian foods. They have everything you need from spices to fruits, meats, and veggies. Basically the things you can’t find at Safeway you can find here. I like checking out the alligator feet in the fish dept. but will never eat them I found good deals on Dungeness crabs when in season like $ 3-​$ 4 bucks a pound! Also cool fruits like asian pears and guavas. Prices are reasonable and I get the Feeling like I’m in Chinatown when I’m here.

This market is an average sized market. Maybe a little smaller than average, but has all your basic needs.
The market has a BBQ and Hot Deli section to grab some food if you don’t feel like cooking tonight. Basically, any other Chinese styled markets. (Ex. 88 Market, 99 Ranch, Pacific Supermarket, etc.)
The market is almost guaranteed to have what you need except for busy holidays when everyone is trying to buy food for the family. Especially the fish department. (Shout out to the fishmongers for their hard work!)
With that said, this market earned a 4-​Star rating. What brought them down would have to be the flies that are all over the BBQ, Hot Deli departments, and the cleanness of the restrooms. (There is always a strong unpleasant smell coming from outside of the restroom.) And no, it is not a typical restroom smell. Just if you were wondering.

For the roasted turkey we got for Thanksgiving this place is 5 stars! The turkey was so moist, and the perfect roasted, tasty skin was so delicious. Everything else is 4 stars with the great prices and variety of items and produces.
My only complaint (and a 1 star rating) is the produce section since I have wasted a good amount of money on inedible fruit. They looked good, but usually turn out bad. I had to recently throw out an entire container of seeded grapes because they were so mushy and tasteless.
Their greens and meat section are awesome, and you really can’t beat the prices. You might get them cheaper in Chinatown, but then you have to deal with crowds and parking difficulties. Not worth it to me. I’d rather do my leisurely grocery shopping at this Asian market.

Not the freshest produce, but the stuff here is a cheap and it is a convenient alternative for East Bay-​ers who do not live close to El Cerrito to shop at Ranch 99 and who do not want to deal with the stress and crowds of Oakland Chinatown. At New Sang Chong, there is a massive parking lot and usually the lines aren’t too bad. Even on Thanksgiving day, I didn’t feel like it was too crowded.
I’m a huge fan of their «you fan» (sticky rice) that can be found in their hot food section. You fan can be time consuming and labor intensive to make, and New Sang Chong makes the best I’ve had besides my grandma’s. There is also usually a good selection of seafood and meat here, almost comparable to Ranch 99’s. And of course, how can you not love the Asian snacks?! I nabbed all the green tea Pocky and green tea Choco Rolls from Imei (they also had taro flavor!) I could. I’m sorry I’m not sorry.

I’m a practical person. I can’t justify driving to Chinatown if I can get the same items at comparable prices in my neighborhood. Shopping locally is better for the environment and saves me the aggravation from the crowds and paying for parking in the Chinatown.
I won’t reiterate what’s already been written by other Unilocalers. Yes, they have a vast selection in their bakery and hot food section. There’s a display of different types of bread… loaves of sliced Sheng Kee flavored bread (they call it toast) — custard, raisin, coconut, and cheese. I guess they don’t make red bean like Sogo?
If you have an insatiable craving for Asian snacks like yours truly, this is the store to patronize. I must’ve spent about $ 15 on it alone… I think I missed out on cuttlefish because I was distracted by all the goodies.
I’ve noticed some unique items… like sweet corn popsicles and frozen Chinese donuts.
There were almost no lines after 7 on weeknights.
